Sorry, they only have a single business in my city.
It was an awesome job, goes all the way around my arm, my shoulder blade, my shoulder, part of my neck, and collarbone. Took 2 hours.
You can see where it was starting to come off because it was being rubbed (having a heavy walkie-talkie on that shoulder all day because i can't hear as well on my other ear didn't help), but as a testament of how well those airbrush tattoos last, it took quite some scrubbing to get the still-healthy parts of it off. And even then it left a ghost for a few days after.
Hey folks, thank you for your enthusiasm towards my picture. I just wish it was something I had done myself~ (: Well, apparently people don't read the comments, so here: I pulled references from the first chapter of the Black Lagoon manga, which you can find conveniently at onemanga.com. That's all I used. I put the best pictures I could find into a collage and emailed it to the tattoo place a month prior so they could work it out and let me know if it was a go or not. The lady who worked on me used various parts of their pre-existing tribal template to build the entire thing freehand. The tattoo covers half the shoulder blade, wanders across the collar bone a bit, and goes up the side of the neck.
Sorry but I do not think that Revy's tattoo, is not it? o.ò I would like too make Revy cosplay, but I can not find the full tattoo, te original of the anime :S
I was basing the design off the original manga version. This is definitely not an exact copy of it, but it was close enough and recognizable enough so I was pretty happy with having it for a couple days.
I know which version you're talking about - the one that she's got in the anime, rather than the manga. If you want to be super accurate, I think all you can do is get enough screenshots of the tattoo from all angles and work with that. I don't think there's an actual official reference of her tattoo, but a quick google search (that's probably how you found my pic anyway) yields lots of artwork that you can piece together a design from.
I unfortunately don't know the exact brand of paint, but it's a high quality alcohol-based bodypaint. It stays on very well - especially if you clean the skin with rubbing alcohol beforehand and take good care of the tattoo afterwards.
